This is an example of EM (light) energy being changed to chemical energy.
What is photosynthesis?
100
This is a type of energy that travels in waves and can travel through empty space.
What is EM (electromagnetic) energy?
100
This type of energy is produced by the vibrations of matter. These vibrations can move through solid, liquid or gaseous matter, but they cannot travel through empty space.
What is sound energy?
200
A force (a push or pull) applied to an object which forces the object to move.
What is work?
200
Energy an object has due to its motion, position or condition.
What is mechanical energy?
200
This is an example of EM (light) energy being changed to electrical energy.
What is a solar powered calculator?
200
The type of EM given off by a fire, red hot wires of a toaster or a red hot eye of electric stove.
What is IR (infrared)?
200
Rapid back and forth motion of air or other matter.
What are vibrations?
300
The energy any object has because of its motion.
What is kinetic energy?
300
Energy formed when an atom splits apart or when two atoms join to form one.
What is nuclear energy?
300
This is an example of electrical energy being changed to EM (light) and thermal energy.
What is a lamp?
300
This EM that we can see.
What is a visible light?
300
The type of energy that sound really is.
What is Mechanical Energy?
400
Stored energy or energy that an object has due to its position.
What is potential energy?
400
Energy stored in the bonds of atoms.
What is chemical energy?
400
This is an example of EM (light) energy being changed to electrical energy.
What are photovoltaic solar panels?
400
This type of EM energy can be used to kill germs. In people, it can cause sunburn, wrinkling, and skin cancer.
What are UV (ultraviolet) rays?
400
Animals that use low frequency sounds to communicate over long distances.
What are elephants or whales?
500
As a roller coaster car goes down a hill, its potential energy is changed into this.
What is kinetic energy?
500
The internal energy of an object due to the kinetic energy of its atoms and/or molecules.
What is thermal energy?
500
This is an example of chemical energy being changed to thermal energy and then to mechanical energy and finally to electrical energy.
What is a coal or natural gas power plant?
500
This type of EM energy can be used to preserve some foods by killing organisms that cause the food to spoil.
What are gamma rays?
500
These sound waves can be used to create images of a patient's body without the harmful effects of x-rays.
